Senior Scientist Structural Biology (GPCR; cryo-EM; Xrays; SBDD; Biophysics) (Senior) Research Associate Structural Biology (GPCR; cryo-EM, protein tool generation, biophysical/biochemical screening)
We are looking for a highly motivated individuals to join our growing structural biology team as a specialist to lead and support our GPCR cryo-EM efforts. Confo has a unique technology which makes use of antibody VHH fragments or ConfoBodies(tm) to stabilize GPCRs in a particular biologically active conformation of interest as a superior starting point for protein structure determination and innovative H2L/SBDD process. Recently, Confo secured an exclusive license to the Megabody(tm) technology. Megabodies enable to produce high resolution cryo-EM structures of membrane proteins, overcoming current protein size limitations and potential preferential orientation issues in the study of GPCRs via cryo-EM. Confo is currently located on the Technology Park in Zwijnaarde/Ghent and on the VUB campus in Brussels. More information about Confo's technology and strategy can be found on www.confotherapeutics.com<http://www.confotherapeutics.com>.
